“You offering?”
She’d asked for that one.
After about five tense minutes of silence, Lucy was relieved to see her car pulling into the parking lot. Warden climbed out of it and tossed her the keys.
“Your purse is on the front seat,” he said.
“Thank you,” she said. “Where’s Sentinel? I want to thank him too.”
Warden and Evan exchanged a glance.
“He had another engagement.” Warden nodded at her and let himself in the back door of the bar. While the door was open, Lucy could see that there was a private party going on in the bar; evidently the body shot girls had found another taker.
“Oh,” Lucy said faintly. She wanted to ask again what happened to the mugger, but a warning voice in her head told her to drop it.
“I’ll see you around, Counselor.” Evan leaned in close and brushed a kiss across her temple before heading back into the bar to join the party.
